SAKSHI SOMANI

Psychologist | Mental Health Advocate | Safe Space Creator

Founder, Mindsfreelife – Hyderabad

Sakshi Somani,

Welcome! I’m Sakshi Somani, a psychologist based in Hyderabad, dedicated to creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for healing, connection, and meaningful conversations.

Since childhood, I’ve been driven by an innate curiosity — always asking “why?” — and a deep desire to care for and understand others. That natural inclination to support those around me has shaped every step of my journey, both personally and professionally.

A Journey Rooted in Empathy

While navigating my own experiences with childhood trauma, I realized how powerful it is to feel truly heard — without judgment, without bias. Ironically, as someone who always loved to talk, learning how to listen became my greatest transformation. It opened the door to a deeper form of empathy — one that continues to guide my work every day.

Why Psychology?

After completing my post-graduation in Hospital Administration and working across healthcare settings, I witnessed the emotional weight people silently carry — patients grieving losses, caregivers facing burnout, and individuals confronting life’s toughest moments alone.

I realized that beyond physical recovery, what people often need most is emotional support — someone to simply be present. That realization led me to the field of psychology.

During my clinical internship at a mental health hospital, I found myself connecting not just with clients, but also with their caregivers — many of whom struggled quietly with anxiety, guilt, and emotional exhaustion. Supporting these invisible journeys became part of my calling.

My Vision

My Vision

I recently stepped away from a corporate leadership role to devote myself fully to private practice and mental health advocacy.

Today, through Mindsfreelife, I support individuals, caregivers, and organizations ready to begin their wellness journey. But my mission goes far beyond one-on-one therapy. I aim to:

  • Build stigma-free, open spaces for honest dialogue

  • Facilitate group therapy and peer support circles

  • Support fellow psychologists and therapists — who often forget to care for themselves

  • Spread awareness that “it’s okay to not be okay”

My Motto

“Just start the conversation — life gets simpler.”

Whether you’re navigating personal struggles, caring for someone else, or working in the mental health field yourself — I’m here to listen, support, and walk beside you.

Let’s begin the conversation.
